Merry Christmas!!! This year has truly been a blessing, we can't complain. Our marriage has taking a turn for brighter future and new expectations. I got promoted and increase on my job! my husband will be starting his classes for his Ph.D. in education, soon he will be Dr. O'Connor. Hubby is learning to take pictures see the loving picture! We have moved forward and looking for 2014 to be even better. We have so much to be thankful for and we love life and God has truly blessed us beyond measure, financially, physically and spiritually. So how can we say thank you, by glorifying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this Christmas. We refuse to say we are blessed this season, cause we are blessed every season.

So may your Christmas be bright and shining, may the love of Christ rest in your hearts and minds. God Bless

Love,
Trina.

 

 

 

Hello,
so many new exciting things happening, but I was so blessed when my CEO came to me and asked if I would decorate the new chapel...OMG!! I was so excited I leaped at the opportunity and loved every minute of it. After the completetion when had a Chapel dediction and dedicated it in honour of Sis. Eleanor who has given 30 years of volunteer services to the elderly of Cold Spring Hills Nursing Home. My outstanding husband built the alter, he is such a carpenter takes after our Lord and Saviour! The dedication was great I invited all Clergy including myself, the Pastors, Priest, and the Rabbis that work there daily performing various services. It was beautiful to see Judiasm and Christianity joined together, bought tears to my eyes when we all prayed together and the spirit that was in the chapel, oh! the Lord was there. Now the Chapel has a alter, kneeler, few chairs, Bible and low lighting. Everyone at my job loves it and the room is being used for just taking a breather and praying. The kneeler was donated by the Sister of Mercy and was not in the best of shape, but I took it home varnished it and added a padding for knees and the out come was nice.

My Husband and Kathi Barnutt such a lovely woman she is Sis. Eleanors niece and helped me put this whold thing together.

My creative juices are flowing. I was going through items in my home; because I just re-decorated the living room and foyer. I had all these vases and mirrors that I had purchased when I first built the house and they were sitting and not being used. You know how when you first move into a home, apartment, condo and you want to buy everything you see?? but when you have finally come off the roller-coaster and get the décor you really want, guess what your stuck with trinkets....

Here are some creative ideas I did with my trinkets. The candy dish was a matte gray and I spray painted it shiny black, and the mirror was a green color spray painted that a shiny black also, and now they adorn my office at work... So my trinkets became valuable items that everyone who comes in my office now wants....go figure.

all my equipment in my office is black, computer, fax, phone, file cabinets so these precious lovely items blended right in with the décor.

My wonderful husband and I celebrated 4 years of marriage. I know you are probably saying we are still newlyweds, but the past 2 years of our marriage has been amazing. Our relationship has metamorphosed into such a great friendship rather than husband and wife. Of course we are living a blessed married union and loving every minute, but we are best friends. In the 4 years course of our marriage we have planned a wedding, construction on our home, and removed our selves from negative people. Just the construction on the home alone is enough to have a relationship go sour. Making decisions on what is needed and what is not needed for the home you tend to lock horns. But through it all and despite all the set backs, upsets and wrongful talk against us, we are still faithfully and truly in LOVE. I could not have been blessed with a better life, the life that God has blessed us with is truly a gift from God, and we treasure it daily.
